Europe's cheapest city break to fly to in May half-term is a dreamy Italian spot

With just a month to go until the May half-term holiday kicks off, Britons are running out of time to book a quick family getaway.

However, it's not too late with some fantastic cheap flight deals still up for grabs, according to research by the expert team at KAYAK

.

The team found that Milan is the best value city break for Brits this May half-term with on offer for £152 per person.

The northern city is known for its iconic Duomo, fashion boutiques and as the home of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper.

Milan is also ideally placed for day trips to Lake Garda and Como with train tickets available on Trainline, Omio and Rail Europe.

If you're looking for something a little off-the-beaten-track, book a tour of the Crypt of San Sepolcro which was built on a Roman forum.

Children will love the city's da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology which showcases the artist's quirky mechanical designs.

Milan's ossobucco is famous and the meat is cooked in a delicious blend of onions, carrots, celery and white wine.

Vienna was the next most affordable city to fly to in half-term with flights on offer for just £155 per person.

British tourists could save even more money by opting to stay in nearby Bratislava for more affordable accommodation.

Paris took the third spot on the list with flights for under £160 per person but Brits should bear in mind that the French capital is still one of the world's most expensive cities.
